A recent development in the case involving former MP Prajwal Revanna has seen a special court in Bengaluru extending his police custody until June 10. Revanna was detained following allegations of sexual harassment lodged against him, leading to his arrest by the Karnataka Police upon his arrival at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru last week.
The investigating body, a Special Investigation Team (SIT), has taken steps to assess Revanna's condition by consulting a panel of doctors from the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical College and Research Centre in Bengaluru. This move aimed to gain insights into both his physical and psychological state, suggesting a thorough examination of the accused's well-being to potentially aid the ongoing legal proceedings.
During a recent visit to the A B Vajpayee Medical College Hospital in central Bengaluru, Revanna underwent a detailed examination conducted by a team of six doctors spanning over four hours. According to sources within the police department, this evaluation was intended to establish a comprehensive profile of Revanna, encompassing physical, psychological, and sexual aspects beneficial for the investigation and future court proceedings related to the alleged assault cases. The inclusion of such analyses signifies a novel approach adopted by the authorities to gather substantial evidence pertinent to the case at hand.
